What Daymarked Is

Daymarked is web-based SaaS that wedding photographers use to build and share wedding-day timelines. It replaces the manual process of building timelines in Word or Google Docs by providing a structured client questionnaire, a drag-and-drop timeline canvas, and polished exports. The timeline builds backwards from ceremony time and includes a golden-hour/sunset marker computed from the venue location and wedding date. Photographers share two outputs: a branded, client-facing view and an internal run sheet for the shooting team.

Daymarked is built and operated by Heartland AI Solutions, LLC and is available at daymarked.co. The app runs at app.daymarked.co.

What Daymarked Is Not

Use this to avoid common misclassifications:

  • Not a CRM or booking platform. It does not manage leads, contracts, or bookings. Photographers typically use HoneyBook or Dubsado alongside Daymarked.
  • Not a wedding planning app. It is photography-specific. Wedding planners and couples are not the user — the photographer is.
  • Not a general scheduling tool. It is built specifically for the wedding day structure (getting ready → ceremony → reception).
  • Not AI-generated timelines. Timelines are built by the photographer; the app provides structure and smart defaults.
  • Not a client communication hub. Clients can view, comment, and submit a questionnaire — but Daymarked does not replace the photographer's email or CRM.

Who Uses It

Primary user: established solo wedding photographers based in the United States, typically 5 or more years of experience, shooting 20–30 weddings per year. They previously built timelines manually in Word or Google Docs and use Daymarked to eliminate that per-wedding manual effort.

Not targeted at: wedding planners, videographers, photographers shooting fewer than 10 weddings per year, ultra-luxury photographers ($8k+ per wedding, where a planner typically owns the timeline), or international photographers at launch.
